    We all need a good night’s sleep to stay sane and re-energize our mind and body. There is nothing more frustrating than a night tossing and turning where you never actually fall asleep or where maybe you do fall asleep briefly only to be awakened and kept up the rest of the night. Once insomnia kicks in, it is often difficult to derail. Anxiety continues to build the less sleep you have had and the greater the responsibilities of the next day.

    Fortunately, hypnosis and CBT-I, Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia, can help.

Your hypnotherapist will explain the four stages of sleep and how to transition easily from one to the next with the help of self-hypnosis, a proven strategy for getting to sleep comfortably and getting back to sleep when you awaken in the middle of the night.

About Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, a focused state of concentration during which your mind is calm and very alert and your body completely relaxed. During hypnosis you are not asleep but rather in a deeply relaxed state of consciousness where the hypnotherapist can better connect to your subconscious mind.

Your subconscious mind governs most of your unwanted behaviors, bad habits and limiting beliefs. Most people are not aware that it is approximately 7 times stronger than your will power or logic or that it represents roughly 88% of the brain we use, while the conscious part of your mind only represents 12%. This is why it is so hard to make changes even when we consciously really want to make those changes. It is also why an unwanted behaviors, bad habits or limiting beliefs often re-surfaces quickly after a temporary departure. Hypnosis is an extremely effective, comfortable way to connect with that subconscious part of your mind and make long lasting changes happen fast.

Hypnosis is an ancient tool that continues to gain interest, popularity and credibility. Hypnotherapy has been approved by the AMA (American Medical Association) since 1958 and has often been used in conjunction with western medicine and psychology due to the fact that it is safe, naturally occurring, pain-free and drug free.

I have had insomnia for almost my entire life, and have never been a morning person. I just completed Andrea's 5 week hypnotherapy course for sleep and for the first time in my life I can honestly say I AM A MORNING PERSON!

I am up at 6:30am 7 days a week and it feels incredible and is life changing. My sleep has vastly improved and continues to get better every week. If you cannot sleep, do this, I found the fee to be super reasonable.
